    While the players are lunching let me point you in the direction of a cracking piece of content on our website today. England fast bowler Mark Wood, who took the wicket that won the Ashes, has written an entertaining column about his exploits. He talks about his imaginary horse, writing the England team song and reveals which England player lost his hotel room key in the boozy post-match celebrations.  

  2. Australia 84-2published at 13:10

    So some great bowling from Katherine Brunt and Anya Shrubsole. Brunt was unlucky not to collect a wicket as four times she had strong lbw shouts but each time the decision went against her.

    "Australia started well but what a wonderful spell by Anya Shrubsole. She was really playing with the batsmen, varying her lengths and she managed to do for Villani and Lanning."

  5. Lunch interval - Australia 84-2 (Bolton 36, Perry 5)published at 13:02

    Nicole Bolton pulls through midwicket for two and she has 36 off 87 balls. It has been hard work at times but she is still there. Another two comes off the last ball.

    And that is it for the opening session of this Test match. England started and ended the session well with two quick wickets from Anya Shrubsole restricting the tourists to 84-2 after they had started to look dangerous.

    Australia will just be aiming to ensure they do not lose any more wickets in the opening session. Ellyse Perry quickly gets off the mark and she has five already. 

    It is time for some spin for England. Off-spinner Laura Marsh is thrown the ball.

  8. Australia 75-2 (Bolton 32, Perry 0)published at 12:48

    It is looking like England's session so far after those two quick wickets from Anya Shrubsole. 

    But one in-form player has just been replaced by another. Ellyse Perry's scores in the last month have included efforts of 93, 78, 48, 67, 110 and 80 not out. 

    Not too shabby.

    "That's a very good moment for England. Meg Lanning was the key wicket and she had been the one who had put England to the sword in the last two ODIs.

    "Ashes or no Ashes, you would take Shrubsole's figures any day. It's wonderful bowling."

    WICKET - Lanning c Knight b Shrubsole 3 (Aus 70-2)published at 12:45

    A huge wicket for England. We said they wanted Meg Lanning's wicket. And that is the one they have got. It is a similar dismissal to that of Elyse Villani's and again the catch is taken smartly at first slip by Heather Knight. Two quick wickets for Shrubsole. England delight.

    "Meg Lanning must be so nervous - at the age of 23 she has the weight of the world on her shoulders - but she manages to stay so calm. To be the number one batter in the world that's what you have to be."

  13. Australia 66-1published at 12:39

    Villani's dismissal brings in Meg Lanning, who is in fantastic form with scores of 104 and 85 in her least two one-day internationals against England. She also made 93 in a warm-up match against an England Women's Academy/Surrey Boys side last Monday. It is fair to say that her wicket is the one England will desperately want to take.

    WICKET - Villani c Knight b Shrubsole 33 (Aus 66-1)published at 12:36

    And that is the breakthrough that England have wanted. Elyse Villani is out for 33. A lovely delivery from Anya Shrubsole sees Villani prod at the ball but she can only send it towards Heather Knight at first slip who does well to take a low catch.

    No need to wave the FOUR/SIX cards in this over. Another couple of runs added to the total. Steady from the tourists.

    In case you have only just joined us, this is a four-day Test match.

    "A lot of young cricket fans are making the most of their summer holidays as they take in the action on the banks of the St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury and enjoy their own miniature versions of cricket. 

    “With not much to cheer about for England fans just yet, they have starting waving FOUR/SIX cards furiously as Australia start to find the boundary more often."

  18. Australia 64-0published at 12:26

    Australia are starting to pick up the pace. After 10 overs they had limped along to 21-0, but 10 overs later and they are now on 64.

  19. Australia 63-0 (Bolton 24, Villani 33)published at 12:22

    It is too short from Elwiss. And it is punished by Elyse Villani, who pulls it away over mid-wicket. That is the 10th four of the match. She tries the same shot later in the same over. But can only strike the ball against her foot. This partnership is starting to look very dangerous. England captain Charlotte Edwards shouts some encouragement to her troops and her side need a wicket.
